What's really funny is that you read the question, but not the answer, yes it is unstoppable, hence in this universe an unmovable force can't exist to withstand it, so let it go. . . or do as I do, have the very first time you answered the question handy (along with 'why is the sky blue' 'did we land in the moon' 'what is a black hole' and my favorite 'what is beyond space') and do a copy & paste.

Other incarnations I've heard include
"Can

"What happens when a machine that can crush anything tries to crush an uncrushable object?"
